Anti-immigrant policies are leading to a decline in local economies as fear from potential immigration raids causes many immigrants to limit their spending. This phenomenon affects not just illegal immigrants but also those with legal status, who prioritize saving for legal necessities over local purchases. Such destabilizing effects, alongside tariffs and cuts to federal small business programs, hinder the economic future of the nation. The importance of supporting small businesses and providing coaching resources is emphasized as essential for fostering community wealth and job creation, highlighting the need for restored federal support and philanthropy investment.
Unfortunately, anti-immigrant policies threaten to derail this economic engine. As attacks on immigrants are rising, local economies are weakening, with the fear of immigration raids keeping people home.
Many immigrants, including those with legal status, have stopped spending money at local restaurants or stores, choosing instead to save for lawyers, paperwork, and guardianship plans for their children in case they become separated.
The destabilizing effects of draconian immigration policies, along with the whiplash of tariffs and harmful cuts to federal small business programs, undermine our nation's economic future.
Supporting every emerging business in America is an investment in the nation's entire economic future.
